Change or reset your Google Account password

Your Google Account password is the same password you use for other Google products, like Gmail and YouTube. If you forgot your password and would like to reset it or would like to change your password for security reasons, please follow the steps below.

Important: If you're running Android 5.1 or higher on your device and need to do a factory reset, you need to wait 24 hours after changing your password to reset your device. For security purposes, you can't use an account if the password was changed within 24 hours to set up the device after reset. Learn about how to protect your device.
